Point proven.

Best and worst of Ferdinand .....BestFerdinand: We don't really say 'theist' in Alabama. Here, you're either a Christian, or you're from Afghanistan and we fucking hate you.WorstFerdinand: Everyone from British is so, like, fucking retarded.

Okay, a small update - Apparently it's not just about banning pork. If this thing is going to be final, then only halal meat will be allowed in those institutions.

I'm not sure about other places, but the practices used for halal killing here, is completely outrageous and inhumane.
I don't care if I'm stepping on any toes here, but that practice should not be allowed or supported by anyone anywhere.

Well I can link you to some newspapers that write about it, but it's all in Danish.

So far, I actually have not been following this whole thing that close, mostly I've just heard about it on TV, and been thinking is just another one of those thing they are gonna say they'll do, but never actually does.

The situation right now, is pretty much that everyone are calling everyone else a racist, but yes, most people seems to be outraged about it, either because of the social dilemma (about how far we as a society has to go to please a religious minority group) or the personal dilemma (the fact that your children pretty much is forced to support the halal meat tradition, and no longer have the freedom to just bring whatever they like as lunch).

Racism in the US has long been a tool of the elite...

Racism used to be about slavery, then it was about dividing and weakening unions and peoples movements, now it is a straw man taking the focus off of economic reform, educational reform, heath care reform, prison reform and the ending of the drug war.

When an unarmed man is shot 18 times in an ally by police you call the cop a racist, lay him off and dismiss the whole thing. You don't have to look into his training, man hours, pay, the conditions along his route, the quality of police administration, the situation in the neighborhood, the crime fueled by lack of income and gentrification. The story is never about the conditions these poor people live and work in, and the thin line many walk, it's always just about black and white. Even when the guy is a latino with a Jewish name.

I'm gonna throw this out there and say i bet this is completly untrue. This sounds like one of those things 1 place did one time as a lesson on other cultures and some knuckle dragger has heard of it and used it as an excuse to stir up hatred of muslims. And the tabloids have picked it up put a spin on it and claimed its a new law being forced on the population by mulims. (The words "sharia law" will be thrown in for good measure)
